This poster is signed by the artists, Stanley Mouse and Alton Kelley!

 

This original poster has also been authenticated on the reverse by the Godfather of 1960s Psychedelic Concert Posters, Eric King! The lightly penciled inscription represents what concert poster authentication looked like prior to CGCs authentication of these items (See photo).

 

Universally recognized as one of the most popular and stunning posters in the entire Avalon series. This Original First Printing FD-22 poster was designed by poster legends Alton Kelley and Stanley Mouse, featuring the famous Frankenstein image, and the Grateful Dead has been misspelled, too!

 

According to Eric King's guide this issue has repeatedly been counterfeited over the years. CGC has brought much-needed integrity and stability to this marketplace. The Original Pre-Concert First Printing Posters of "Frankenstein" very seldom show up in public auctions.
